UPS is essential for all projects. however, in LEED projects it act as power saver as well and it can supply the power grid
A Uninterrupted Power Supply system is critical to any building where the a loss of power cannot be tolerated. Hospitals, manufacturing plants etc.
Green Buildings are saving energy by high tech automated systems controlling all items using power in the building in addtion to emergency systems. Therefore it is essential to maintain all controls and control systems in operation in case of power cut off.
Also, solar energy is used in these buildings. UPS will bridge periods of power loss due to possible extended period of loss of sun.
ups system is necessasry part of green building
UPS REQUIRMENTS MUST COMPELSAARY FOR SAFE ANY ACCIDENT IN EEMERGANCY EXIT INCASE OF DARK SHUT DOWN OR BLACK OUT.
In addition to all the above answers, Green buildings are controlled by a sensitive freely programmable controllers which is preferred to be powered by Uninterrupted Power Supplies to protect it from the utility power problems. Also power failure can cause problems during certain activities such as the power failure during downloading the program to the controller. finally, these controllers need continuous supply to be able to control and manage the building efficiently.
An electronic power supply like UPS is very essential because it eliminates the need of DG sets which are not environment friendly and cause pollution. Compared to the rising cost of fossil fuels as it is nearing depletion, Storing energy in batteries and then retrieving it is more environment friendly and hence very important in green buildings.
